Railroad Commissioners--Report No. 4

Fatal accident on the Central Yer
mont r. r. near Winooski station, Jan
lst, 1887.
The fatal accident to Hegesippe
BRAGG, on the Central Vermont rail
road, near WinoOski station, was in
vestigated by the board of railroad
commissioners on the 9th day of Janu-
airy. 1t appears that Mr.. BRAGG, with
three companions, was returning to
his home in WinOoski from the city OF
Burlington, in the evening of January
LIST, 1887, walking upon the track OF
the Central Vermont railroad cOmpa-
ny, when he was met by a passenger
train going south. Mr.. BRAGG and his
companions saw the train approaching
and stepped aside to allow the same to
pass. Through want of sufficient care
and caution Mr.. BRAGG did not get to a
safe distance, and, losing his balance,
or slipping, was struck by the tender
of the engine, or the baggage carr and
instantly killed.
The conclusion of this board is, that
it is dangerous for people to walk up
on the railroad track.
For the Board,
HENRY L. CLARK.

The result Is truly astonishing. She a

This case is more remarkable in that the child
was deaf almost from birth, and it more a con-

treatment of deafness, and they have in all chronic

Henry waterson in '64.
Atlanta Constitution.

An interesting story is told about
Henry Watterson's connection with the
Cincinnati Times, which, during war
times and just afterwards, prlded itself
on being the most extreme Union pa
per i'm the West.
One day in 1864, so the story goes,
Watterson went through the lines and
to Cincinnati on business connected
with a cotton claim. He also went to
the Office of the Cincinnati Times.
Mr.. Francisco, the business manager,
was sitting at his desk in the counting
room on Third street when a medium
sized stranger stepped up to the coun-
ter and asked to see the business man
ager. He was dressed in a suit of rebel
gray, with cavalry jacket that was de-
cidedly the worse for wear, being out
at the elbows, and had close observer

went south, flag of truce could have

"WOuld that be consistent with the
uniform you are now wearing 2" refer
ring to the rebel gray clothing.
"Perfectly so. L write to please you ;
if you like it you adopt it; if it coin
cides with your views You adopt, pub
lish, and become responsible for its
utterances, and if not you consign it
to the waste basket. There is no rea-
son why IL man should not be employ
ed to do brain work the same as he is
to do manual labor. No one pretends
that manual labOrers should not re-
ceive instructions from their employ
ers as to how certain work should be
done, and it is a vagary to assume that
brain labor should not be placed on
the same grounds"
"With this understanding you can
write a couple of editorials, and if they
are suitable you shall have employ
ment."
Mr.. Watterson left the Office and in
Il couple of hours returned with two
editorials that were gems. He was
employed and held the position for
more than year, giving general sat-
iSfactiOn.
